About Longaniza
Longaniza is a flavorful sausage traditionally enjoyed across various cuisines, including Spanish, Mexican, Filipino, and Dominican. While recipes vary by region, it is typically made from ground pork, seasoned with spices like paprika, garlic, salt, and sometimes vinegar, giving it a distinctive tangy and smoky profile. Some varieties incorporate beef or chicken for a unique twist. Longaniza is often used in stews, grilled dishes, or as a standalone snack. Nutritionally, it provides protein from the meat base, but it is also high in fat and sodium, which can be a concern if consumed in excess. Depending on its preparation, it may contain preservatives or added sugar. While its spices can offer antioxidant benefits, moderation is key due to its calorie density and potential cholesterol content. Opting for leaner versions or homemade recipes with less salt can make Longaniza a more balanced choice.
